Squaws Along The Yukon Lyrics - Hank Thompson

There's a salmon colored girl who sets my heart a whirl 

Who lives along the Yukon far away 

Where the northern lights they shine she rubs her nose to mine 

She cuddles close and I can hear her say 

Ooga ooga mooska, which means that I love you 

If you'll be my baby, I'll ooga ooga mooska you 

Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee 

The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me 

She makes her underwear from hides of grizzly bear 

And bathes in ice cold water every day 

Her skin I love to touch but I just can't touch it much 

Because her fur lined parka's in the way 

Ooga ooga mooska, which means that I love you 

If you'll be my baby, I'll ooga ooga mooska you 

Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee 

The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me 

She has the air corps down the sourdoughs hang around 

Chechakos try to date her night and day 

With a landing gear that's fine and a fuselage divine 

And a smile that you can see a mile away 

Ooga ooga mooska, which means that I love you 

If you'll be my baby, I'll ooga ooga mooska you 

Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee 

The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me 

Carry me back to old Alaska 

The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me
